we are not waiting for the nra. i would just open the nra comes out and says something, that they're going to be willing to work with all of us to come to a solution. we have to make sure that our young people are getting the education that they need. so there are a lot of bills. believe me, and the last several days, many members have introduced legislation. we have been working with mayor bloomberg the past several years, and certainly working with the mayors across this country. even with that, i have to say, several mayors jumped on to the with mayor bloomberg and they were republicans. we are seeing this grow. it is a dialogue we need to have. the biggest problem i see down the road, and i speak to my republican colleagues on the other side of the aisle, silence is something that is always played well here in the house. they will stay silent. they will try to delay, delay, delay. hopefully, the american people will forget what happened last friday. that has always been their technique. to be honest with you, th

ve never supported the nra i probably have a zero rating with them. but the fact is, we've to take a much broader view. the debate is too narrow. we need to look at the cultural issues that are real. when you talk about gun control here in america and at the same time you're talking about gun expansion across the world about not only the u.s. exporting arms to the world, but our own efforts proliferating wars, that is kind of a mixed message that inevitably is not easily reconciled. we need to build a culture of peace in america. is it possible? of course it is. violence is a learned response, and so is nonviolence. through education and creating a social health safety net, i think we can meet the challenge. that is one of the things i will certainly be involved and as i leave the congress to try to broaden the date to look at this at a way that is compassionate and at the same time not blaming ourselves but recognizing that we have a culture that is very violent and affects americans at every level. and if we address that in a systematic way through
